Whitebait Fritters Recipes
THE BEST NEW ZEALAND WHITEBAIT FRITTERS
NZ whitebait season is now open and what better way to celebrate being a Kiwi than NZ whitebait fritters! Whitebait are highly prized little fishes collected en masse from New Zealand rivers and eaten whole in buttery, whitebait fritters. Whitebait is most commonly served in fritters. In this NZ whitebait fritters recipe, we've used a small amount of flour, which I think gives the best result. But fritters can be made using just egg, or egg white, more like an omelette. FYI, whitebait fritters remain one of the most asked for finger food items at parties and events. People can't get enough of them - so make wee ones for a BBQ platter, or try serving fritters with asparagus and a hollandaise sauce for a main meal. These are the best whitebait fritters, hands down. This whitebait recipe is easy as!

Steps:
- Drain your whitebait in a colander. Set aside.
- In another bowl, sieve the flour. Make a well and add the beaten eggs with a dash of water, then mix into a smooth, thick batter.
- Now gently fold in the whitebait, sliced spring onions and lemon juice (or lemon pepper). Season the mixture with salt and pepper.
- Melt butter in a good quality, heavy pan and place a large spoonful of the fritter mixture in the pan. Shape into round fritters and cook until the egg is set or until golden on one side (use egg-flip to peek under). You do not need to wait for the fish to go white. Then gently flip over as you would an omelette and cook the other side for 20 seconds.
WHITEBAIT FRITTERS
These New Zealand delicacys are to die for. For only a few months a year tiny fish called Inunga (whitebait) migrate up our rivers to be scooped up into nets by keen fishermen the best way to cook them is over an open fire by the river bank. But are wonderful from frozen if you are ever in New Zealand make sure you head to the South Island west coast and try some. This is the taste of my childhood, fishing with my grandad.
